Granted, it's not the fastest high-end card, but at least it is based on the latest graphics generation and thus also supports the latest Direct X.
You can use it to gamble the latest title in full resolution, perhaps not with full details, but still good enough.
It has the additional advantage that it takes ~ max 50W, which is really very little in comparison.
The passive cooling works fine with me. In normal Windows operation has round 30 degrees with me, after 30min Zocken it was cooled down to 40 degrees up, but after a few minutes. That's fewer than some cards with active fan!
The graphics memory and the GPU will be clocked down in 2D (Windows) mode and thus verbrauen less power.
It is even so sparingly that it requires no additional power supply.
My conclusion: If not even the fastest high-end card, so this card is but a silent small powerhouse.
PS: Invites you the driver directly from AMD down. I think Sapphire has built in drivers crap.
Addendum:
I have reduced to 4 stars because I have a little picture noise with the map.
Becomes apparent that / have a slightly uneasy with vertical lines / Edge Seeker krisselig. But is really hard to see and can be due to any external interference influence. I'm going to the card is not returned, since it is not really disturbing for me, but I have a good eye and so it falls to me.
Use DVI at 1920x1200, perhaps working at this high resolution is not correct transmission.
